In a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, trade analyst Taran Adarsh offered valuable insights into the ongoing debate surrounding nepotism in Bollywood, particularly in light of Ananya Panday’s growing success. Initially under scrutiny for her lineage, Ananya has managed to win over audiences with her recent projects, including Vikramaditya Motwane’s film CTRL.
Taran Adarsh Speaks On Evolving Talent Over Time
When asked about Ananya’s journey in the industry, Adarsh spoke about the importance of growth and learning in an actor’s career. “Talking about Ananya Panday, I feel you polish with time. You become better with time. When you work with better directors, it always happens,” he stated.
He elaborated on the learning curve that every actor undergoes: “Nobody comes knowing everything. It’s not like when I step onto a set, I’ll be perfect. Not at all. When I started, I didn’t claim to be perfect either. Time teaches you a lot, and people teach you a lot. The same must have happened with Ananya Panday. When better scripts start coming your way, you realise your potential and that you can do more.”
Taran Adarsh’s Take On The Debate Around Nepotism
Adarsh further addressed the contentious topic of nepotism in the film industry. He argued that while many actors might be labelled as products of nepotism, the true measure of success is talent and hard work. “There are many actors who can be labelled as nepotistic. For example, I spoke about Ranbir Kapoor—he’s the fourth generation of the Kapoor family. Prithvi Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, and now Ranbir Kapoor; he is there because of his ability,” he explained.
He noted that the nepotism conversation is often unfairly focused on Bollywood, saying, “If I talk about the Telugu industry, there are many star kids in the second and third generation, and they are fantastic actors. The nepotism debate doesn’t even arise there. Bollywood gets targeted for this… let it go. If you are deserving, you will get a chance. The audience watches your film; the audience makes you or breaks you.”
Adarsh highlighted the fundamental role that audiences play in shaping an actor’s career: “Honestly, when anyone watches a film, for example, when I watch a film, I don’t think about nepotism or the relations of the actor with established stars. What matters is whether they fit the character.”
As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Taran Adarsh believes that while the industry may have its complexities, it ultimately comes down to talent, hard work, and audience acceptance.
